Lan Jieying pulls out a folding chair in front of her sister's hospital bed every night to accompany her sister; During the day, after accompanying Xiaoyu to the infusion, he went home to cook, and then went to the hospital to feed his sister.

"Xiaoyu, it's time to eat." Lan Jieying pushed open the door of the ward with a thermos bucket, and Xiaoyu was reading.

Seeing my sister enter the door, I asked with a smile, "Sister, what do you do for Xiaoyu to eat?" ”

"I won't tell you." Lan Jieying deliberately teased her sister. Put down the rice bucket, pick up the basin, go to the bathroom to fetch water, and wash my sister's hands. When everything was ready, the lid of the barrel was opened, and a smell of fragrance poured out.

"It smells so good. Sister, I guess it's three fresh wontons. Xiao Yu sniffed with her eyes closed.

"Xiaoyu's nose is really pointy, like a puppy. You guessed it. Lan Jieying filled her sister with a bowl and put a spoon on it.

"It's still my sister who knows what Xiaoyu likes to eat." Xiaoyu swallowed a wonton before she remembered something, "Sister, you eat it too, I can't eat it alone." ”

"Sister ate at home, really."

"Sister, if you eat one more, just one." Xiaoyu said, scooped one up, and sent it to her sister's mouth.

Today is the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. In the morning, Xiaoyu did not have an infusion, Lan Jieying settled her sister, and rode a battery car to the Chengbei Cemetery.

Beishan Cemetery is located in front of Beishan, backed by green mountains, there are expressways on the left and right, there is an artificial lake in the south, there is an artificial forest by the lake, there are pavilions, benches, for people to rest, it may be a hot day, I didn't see a few people.

Lan Jieying put the battery car in the parking lot at the entrance of the cemetery, carried fruits, held a bouquet of flowers, and slowly walked to the fifth row of graves to the west, which was the graves of her father and mother, saying that they belonged to her parents, but in fact there was no father, only her mother's ashes and her father's clothes, as well as an erhu and a long sword that he particularly liked.

Seven years ago, on a thunderous night, my mother received a phone call, knowing that my father had an accident, I cried all night, and the next day I went to Dad's unit Water Conservancy Bureau to find the leader, crying to see Dad's body, the leader only told my mother, Dad led two technicians to observe the overflow of the river, unfortunately fell into the water, and never found it again, the unit is organizing personnel to look for it, and also contacted the relevant downstream departments, once found, inform in time. Mom just didn't listen, passed out several times, woke up and continued to cry. Three days passed, there was no news at all, my mother finally got a sum of money from the Water Conservancy Bureau, and led Lan Jieying to move to Pingjiang, when Pingjiang was still a county, my mother said that she didn't want to stay in the same place anymore, and she would see things and think about people, which was too sad.

My mother is also a hard worker, my father died when I was a child, and one night, my mother disappeared and was never found again. She became an orphan when she was a teenager, but fortunately she was supported by her grandparents, and within a few years of marriage, her grandparents died one after another. So, after my dad died, there was nothing left to be nostalgic about.

Mother led Xiao Lan Jieying to Pingjiang, a few hundred miles away, bought this bungalow, bought some furniture, and settled down. At this time, her belly was also big, and it was difficult to find a job, so she went to Pingjiang Toy Factory to contact the work, took the job home, and sent it to earn money to live. I had planned to wait until I had a baby and then look for a new job. But three months later, when Xiaoyu was in a downturn, factories and enterprises were downsized, and her mother could still find a job, so she continued to sew toys at home.

The mother worked day and night, and sometimes she cried while doing it herself, the kind of crying that cried silently, never making a sound, especially afraid that her daughter would see it. Sometimes I forgot to cry, Lan Jieying came home from school and saw it, and went to wipe her mother's tears, and my mother quickly cleaned up her emotions, she should cook and cook, and she should work and work. However, thirteen-year-old Lan Jieying knows her mother's sorrow, never plays outside after school, comes home early, either helps her mother cook, or sews toys with her mother, and chatters to her mother about her school, trying to make her mother happy. The mother also knows her daughter's mind and always laughs out loud.

However, Lan Jieying never expected that her mother's illness had become so serious. Mom stayed up until the winter vacation, finished the next work, sent it to the factory, and then knitted her sister's sweater and pants, knitted Lan Jieying's scarf, bought several New Year's goods, and led the two children to spend the Spring Festival happily, and the doctors went to work, so she asked Lan Jieying to take care of her sister at home, and went to the hospital by herself. She still had to go home, but she was forced to stay in the hospital, notify her family, and immediately be hospitalized.

When Lan Jieying rushed to the hospital, her mother was receiving an infusion, but she was already gasping for breath. The doctor said that he had not seen such a tenacious patient, and ordinary people would not be able to get out of bed for the sake of falling ill.

My mother only stayed in the hospital for three days, and then she left with 10,000 worries. She took Lan Jieying's hand and said repeatedly, "Xiaoying, mom is sorry for you, mom is sorry for you, mom is sorry for you." ”

In the end, her mother didn't let Xiaoyu come to the hospital bed to see her. Lan Jieying knew that the old people said that people who were about to die would scare children and have nightmares if they didn't let children see them.

"Take care of Xiaoyu-" After her mother's last sentence, she grabbed Lan Jieying's hand and put it down, her eyes closed, and two tears remained in her eye sockets. Ren Lan Jieying cried and cried, and never looked at this eldest daughter who was only seventeen years old again.

According to her mother's wishes, Lan Jieying buried her father's clothes, the erhu long sword, with her mother's ashes.

Every time Lan Jieying came over, her eyes were hazy with tears. She misses her parents so much, she wants to cry in her parents' arms, because she is still a child herself, and her immature shoulders can't bear the weight of so much life. However, she endured it every time.

She choked back her tears, feeling guilty in her heart, "Mom, I'm sorry. You asked me to take good care of my sister, but I didn't take good care of her, making her sick, and the needle hurt so much that she clenched her teeth, but she just didn't cry out in pain. You don't know, the heartache when I saw it, the heart-wrenching pain. As she said in her heart, tears finally broke the embankment and rolled out, "Mom-" She seemed to be covered for a long time, and finally cried. However, the next moment, the crying was gone, she wiped away her tears, squeezed out a smile, and said to her mother:

"Dad, Mom, my sister and I are very good, my sister is sensible, she may have eaten, she has grown taller, she has sat in the back of the class, she studies very well, and she has doubled every hundred. I'm already out of my junior year, I'm about to be a senior, and I'll be able to work in two years. Now, our principal Xia cares about me like a mother, gives me a job, and allows me to earn money while going to school; And my brothers who work with me are kind to me, and they change their tricks to weed me every day at noon, for fear that I will be afraid; Every evening, he took turns riding my bike to escort me home, and he didn't let me know it. I don't even know how to thank them. Lan Jieying couldn't bear to worry her parents, and she reported good news but not bad news every time.

"Mom and Dad, I'll go first, I still have a job. I'll come back to see you when I have time. Lan Jieying said and was about to get up, but suddenly saw that someone seemed to have come to burn the paper, and there were two pieces of fruit candy, which seemed to be the matter of the past two days.

"How can anyone burn paper?" Lan Jieying was puzzled.
